(82 FR 25207) related to the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
titled ``Anchorages; Captain of the Port Puget Sound Zone, WA,'' that 
we published February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10313). In May 2017 (82 FR 22448, 
May 16, 2017), we reopened the comment period on the NPRM, which is now 
set to close on August 9, 2017.
    In the June 1, 2017 notification, we identified the scheduled date 
and time of the tribal consultation as July 13, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 3 
p.m., but we did not provide the address. We are publishing this 
document to provide you with the location of the tribal consultation.

the ``Keyword'' box and click ``Search.''
    We encourage all interested tribes to participate in this formal 
consultation by responding orally at the consultation or in writing. If 
you bring written comments to the formal consultation, you may submit 
them to Coast Guard personnel specified at the meeting to receive 
written comments. These comments will be submitted to our online public 
docket. All comments received will be posted without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any personal information you have 
provided. For more about privacy and the docket, visit http://www.regulations.gov/privacyNotice. We will also provide a written 
summary of the government to government tribal consultation and 
comments and will place that summary in the docket.
    Comments submitted after the meeting must reach the Coast Guard on 
or before August 9, 2017. We encourage you to submit comments through
